About Orthodontics
Patients seeking dental and facial balance should be cared for by an orthodontist. The results of orthodontic treatment can be dramatic — beautiful smiles, improved dental health and an enhanced quality of life for people of all ages.
Orthodontic problems must be diagnosed carefully before treatment begins. Proper diagnosis involves comprehensive study of photographs, x-rays, and dental impressions.
Treatment typically lasts from 1 to 3 years, depending on age, and the severity of the orthodontic problem. Outstanding results are also highly dependent on maximum cooperation and coordination of care between you and your orthodontist.
Our orthodontists in Camarillo and Simi Valley are committed to delivering excellent care in order for you to achieve the best smile possible.
FAQ: Orthodontics
What’s the right age for Orthodontic Treatment?
All
children should receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age
seven. This allows early identification of potential problems, and
certain orthodontic conditions are also best treated starting at this
age. The timing of your treatment is very important. An early
consultation will allow us to better understand your individual needs.
Do adults benefit from orthodontics?

is successful at any age, and we strive to make it possible for
patients of all ages to have beautiful, confident smiles. Our
orthodontists are specialists trained to treat patients of all ages to

treatment?
We
encourage you to continue your regular dental visits every six months.
In fact, we can coordinate these visits here at Children’s Dental Group
so that your wires can be removed for a more thorough dental cleaning.
